on the rise, yeah.
what does it mean?

Using brackets or 'on the rise'?

On the rise meaning being used increasingly.

ok. i think the re is no way to increase more, it will be
stupid if all topics are supplied with some brakketz. and i
remember there was a small thread about using of square
brakketed info (someone called them tags, if i remember
right)..
nice thingie, isn't it?

yeah the brackets have lost their shock appeal...we will
have to using something else, like CAPS, they will never get
old.

LOOK AT ME, IM WRITING IN CAPS!

Too funny. CAPS isn't nice to read though; what about
finding another char, eg.s -

this was introduced by elusive in his Second Incarnation,
one of the ones when he was still enraged at the rest of the
board being there.

I will say this: over my DEAD body will I start using this
dumb brackets thing.

I tend to agree with you. I mean I look at what the topic
name is to determine what it is about......it seems
relatively simple, or am I missing something :S

and might I add that it is the boards way of doing what
phobs will introduce in the end anyway: categories.

but you can miss smth interesting. in 0.5% of cases.

i regret not posting the words 'did you know...' in that
small passage. It would seem like more fun, i think.

Just if i had some music to spahm it would be good to know
that qrter himself can possibly give it a highly appreciated
listen. Do you see?

it is useful to kind of categorise your post using brackets
i think. esp. given the little room.

no but seriously now.. half of the bracketed crap doesn't
even mean anything, which pretty much renders the other half
handicapped too.

it also fits into an unhealthy world-view of having
everything nice and organised that I shall rally against til
I have a vagina to get sand in with on.
